Adoption?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm sure it has happened,or they are " accidently"left in a hot car.

But who is to say an adoptive parent isn't capable of doing the same, childraising commitments be damned?

While all bio-parents are guarenteed free of mental illness, abuse, addiction, poverty..? The state or government have never had to step in and remove bio-kids from unsafe family situations. This only happens to adoptive families. I beg you, look at the statistics, and tell me bio-kids in general are not getting the shorter straw than adoptive kids in general...

^It's that kind of rabid defense of the adoption system that pisses me off.

And for parent-less kids, what would be the alternative to adoption?

How am I being rabid? Because I point out that bio-parents are just as likely, if not more likely, to be less than optimal parents? The screening process is there for a reason, and bio-kids don't have the privilege of having their parents screened for parental suitability before conception.
However you wish to slice and dice the issue, there are hundreds of thousands of kids in this world who deserve to be loved, protected, respected, fed, clothed, educated, recieve health care and be physically and mentally stimulated. Is it OK to turn our backs on them, just because some nut-jobs slip through the cracks of the system? Should there be legislation banning all prospective bio-parents from having kids, because there are a few nut-jobs among the bio-parents?
Should it not be the ultimate goal to make sure each and every child has parents who will treat them with love and respect and cares for their needs? Or is the solution mass-euthanasia of every child that have no one to take care of them?

This one is more trollish.

If ^ this ^ was sarcasm then I think it was missed, it's a bit hard to get the way you have written this.

Seriously dude, your obsession with adoption is disturbing. You have no idea what growing up in the system is like and you come across like a spoiled brat.

You keep making these thread/posts for years I see, you don't care to hear anybody out, don't offer any solutions or alternatives... What exactly is it that you actually WANT?

Reminder: Keep it civil folks.

GiftorCurse - I think you would benefit from counseling or some other way to deal with your anger. It's not a nice way to live. I have only been on WP for a little amount of time and I have seen you blow up a few times at other people and then come back and apologise for what you have said. If you can find a way to balance things out more, when you crash it won't hit so hard.

If I could travel back to live at any time in my life, it would be to when I was in a Childrens home, but I imagine such Childrens homes are rare.

I would also imagine, unlike Foster parents, parents who adopt really do want a child and would probably demonstrate their appreciation for such a gift when one comes along.
How many "bio" offspring are actually wanted these days with all the teenage pregnancy and such? ruining young folks lives when they could be out clubbing or whatever they like to do.

I leaned that a rather rich couple had wanted to adopt me when they knew me from the Childrens Home, I wonder how much better my life would have been with them rather than my natural Mother when I was returned too who kept me alone in my room and never protected me from her husband who would kick me in the stomach, strangle me or hit my hand with his big man hands.

The reason I hate adoption so much is because I'm afraid that my masturbation habit is making my chances at future fatherhood slim.

There, I said it.

Sounds like a load of w*k to me.

^I must say, that did make me chuckle...

But seriously, I'm afraid that if I don't have kids of my own in the future, I wouldn't be a real dad.
